I loved this moviejerry 01/17/2007 
  When i was flicking the channels, I came across this movie! and I'm glad I did because Gordon Gebert is so adorable and bortrays the role as Janet Leigh's son exceptionally well! For an 8 yr old, that's impressive! But the intense love triangle gets you on the edge of your seat, especially in the scene when Carl is putting the tree up and Steve Mason turns up on the door step, then again on christmas day when Connie's parents are over and Steve is talked about bringing jealousy and suspicsion to Carl. It is so intense for me and I was truly impressed with the script. fantastic and entertaining.
